QPR V Leeds Utd Match Thread

[SG90]

13 corners and I don't think there was one decent delivery that offered us a chance. That is the problem.

[SG90]

Says it all when Casilla would be MOTM for me, looks quality.

Made 2 good saves as well.

[Cjay]

Only one person to blame and that is the Italian Bates. Refusing to support Bielsa in the position we were in is unforgivable. We f**k this up and he won't be showing his face at ER for a while that's for sure.

Whoever it was who decided was wrong, Bielsa does have a history of preferring to make do, but Radz also has a history of being tight, between them they cocked up in January.

That performance was the sort of performance that shows we havent the quality to make top 2.

Very good team as a group but when the machine isnt on top form we lack the individual parts to get by.

[Cjay]

If he's good enough he's old enough ...Rooney was international class from about 16. We have the players but MB is sticking to the plodders in a lot of cases.. The current problem is selection. Alio looks so much better on the right

In the first team squad we dont imo, i have personally never thought we had the squad to be a playoff squad.

What would your match day 18 be then? Fitness permitting.

[SG90]

It's another poor goal we've gifted away when we should have been ahead and then we're chasing the game again. That was their first shot on target too. Tired of seeing the same names in the team, drop a few for Friday. Hopefully Clarke will be back. I keep saying it, but give Shack a chance.

He must look at some of the players ahead of him and laugh.

Poor poor Kiko.

[60sUnited]

Cassilla will start wishing he had stayed in Spain !

[SG90]

Casilla Alioski Jansson Cooper Dallas Phillips Gotts Hernandez Shack Clarke Bamford would be my team for Friday.

[The Subhuman]

I would hate to see alio play Left back ever again ...but I guess we will.

[Mick Jones shoulder]

Swapping fullbacks when you need a goal? Sticking to the plan is fine but teams worked us out a while ago. Seasons been good, over achieving but we lack killer instinct imho. Never understood giving someone 10 mins to make an impression (Brown) especially when they have been out for so long.

Douglas was shite when he came on, Ali has been very good.

[leic white 63]

not put in a promotion worthy performance for a while . lets be honest we have not played well since derby . not convinced at all about bamford . like it all not the lack transfer activity in january i fear it will cost us again. typical leeds.

[The Subhuman]

Casilla - 9
Ayling - 7
Alioski - 4 before Douglas came on 7 after
Jansson - 6
Cooper - 8
Pablo - 7 - Some wonderful football some nasty dead ball stuff and lost possession
Klich - 7 - A one man center midfield
Phillips - 6
Bamford - 4 - I like players to do the job their selected for ...I make that 5 clean clear chance spawned in 2 games.
Harrison - 5 - Back to head down and hanging on to the ball too long.
Roberts - 6 - Some nice football but looked like David Batty more than Samu Saiz and you don't want a David Batty high up the pitch

Dallas - 3 - woeful
Brown - 3 - Not ready
Douglas - 5 - ...why two full backs when 1-0 down, when did that last work? The Douglas to allow Alio forward at least made some sense

[SG90]

Brown lucky he didn't get sent off tbf. We don't want that kind of attitude at the club if he thinks he's better than he is, like his mate Baker. He can start contributing positively since we've spent so much time and effort on him.

[The Subhuman]

Douglas was shite when he came on, Ali has been very good.

You think kicking a player from behind and falling on his arse to make tackles is good? He's a worse full back than Kalvin is centre back.

[Mick Jones shoulder]

Douglas hasn't lived upto expectations, but Alioski always strikes me as an accident waiting to happen. One of those you would definitely slap if an opposing player, a tryer but lacks vision and composure. Tonight was always happening when you"d seen the run they were on.

[60sUnited]

What has happened to Klich though ? I dont think he has been at the races for a few games now. But I am totally depressed now with our performances, been a Leeds fan for so long, 1964 ish, seen some great stuff for which I am grateful but have become conditioned to failure....I will feel better in the morning !

[SG90]

Bit harsh to say Dallas was woeful when he created the best chance of the game. Roberts having a six when he did nothing offensively and passed to the QPR player for the goal?

[Cjay]

Today he was poor but he has been better at full back during his spell then Douglas has all season, Barry Douglas has been a major disappointment.

That being said Ali is a better right winger then left back, but he is the best left back we have.

Totally agree. MB's decisions at times are beyond belief. The subs tonight were shocking . The team needed an injection of pace and impetus so he put Douglas, Dallas and Brown on. Sorry but they've had how many games between them over the last few weeks ? Shacks should have been 1st on to drive the team forward, not bolster the f**king defence with a nothing player. If this carries on they can even forget the playoffs because there are many points available yet but I can't see Leeds getting many of them unless MB stops pissing about and puts some pace on the pitch .
